Eleven local authority areas have been running voter ID pilots at these elections, where people were asked to provide particular forms of ID when they turned up to vote. At Woking borough council, which was trialling a version involving people having to show photo ID, turnout was 36.3%, slightly down on the 37.7% in last year’s election. There

The Web3 Foundation was created to accelerate the development and adoption of the decentralized web. We’re providing the framework for an ecosystem in which the most cutting-edge projects can work together for one another’s benefit, thereby multiplying their benefit to society as a whole by building the future of identity, privacy, financial markets, commerce, and more. At the core of this work is Polkadot – a platform of fully compatible interacting blockchains of unrestricted variety and capability.

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of technological development and to be part of shaping the future of society for the better. You will be working closely together with team members in Zug, Switzerland, in Berlin, Germany, and in remote locations.

A number of teams have started researching or building Polkadot infrastructure and parachains.

Some of these teams are preparing for Polkadot’s launch today by building on the Substrate technology stack. Polkadot parachains don’t have to be built on Substrate, but they can be and it is easy for them to be used in Polkadot. For Substrate chains to become parachains there is very little technical overhead or extra coding. The chain simply needs to bond DOT tokens to lease a parachain slot on the Polkadot platform.

This is a rundown of the teams building out the Polkadot ecosystem. Please comment as more come online.

We have previously written about why we are paying users monero to participate on our testnet, and how much you can make. This post aims to explain what you can do to earn real money on testnet!

After launching our first testnet on Tendermint using the cosmos SDK before christmas, we have become more convinced Polkadot and Substrate are the better choice for purpose. There are always trade offs when choosing between different software package solutions, but in sum we are quite confident in our choice. If you want to learn more about the Joystream project, please consult our whitepaper.

Governance

DOT holders control Polkadot’s future. All privileges, which on other platforms are exclusive to miners, will be given to the relay chain participants (DOT holders), including managing exceptional events such as protocol upgrades and fixes.

Operation

Game theory incentivizes token holders to behave in honest ways. Good actors are rewarded by this mechanism, while bad actors will lose their stake in the network. This ensures the network stays secure.

Interoperability

For messages to be passed from one blockchain to the next, the sender pays a fee in DOTs to the validators ferrying the message.

Bonding

New parachains are added by bonding tokens. Outdated or non-useful parachains are removed by removing bonded tokens. This is a form of Proof-of-Stake.

How it works

The interface for Refine Medium is very intuitive and makes viewing, uploading and evaluating videos very easy. It is based on the principle of decentralization, and videos are uploaded only if they get a certain number of votes. The network has moderators who vote for videos, and subsequent evaluations generate rewards for content creators.

The concept of “red shift” is based on the Doppler effect; i.e. wave lengths of light contract or expand as they approach and then speed toward or away from Earth. Hence, for red shifts to have any meaning, the Earth becomes the center of the universe; which, of course, is absurd.
